Its not justThe Banshees Of Inisherin.
Historically, people love them some horses.
They love to watch them run across wide open landscapes and also on little tracks.
They love to ride on them and pretend that this is a mutually beneficial act.
They love to admire their untamable nature and then tame them.
And the horses humble, squat cousin, the donkey?
Hes been nothing but the butt of the joke, quite literally: Just an ass.
But inEO, the audience knows the donkey is the star.
(Someone get this guy a GPS!)
Whether working as a therapy animal or a circus performer, EO longs only for companionship and peace.
And EO isnt the only donkey who clomped his way into our hearts this year.
A born actor, Jenny easily keeps pace with her costars, the ultra-eyebrowed Farrell and finger-deficient Brendan Gleeson.
(The dream.)
The donkey, it seems, has finally arrived.
It couldnt have come at a better time.
Humanity, as EO learns firsthand, has galloped right off a cliff.
The path forward is not on horseback, but beside the awkward, braying donkey.
Gaze into those saucer-like eyes and abandon your desire for speed or expansion or progress.
And my daddy, he was nice.
And my sister, she’s nice.
I’ll remember her.
Forever I’ll remember her.
Everyone remembers him, and not because he was nice.
Well, I don’t, Padraic replies, so there goes that theory.
*EO is played by both male and female donkeys.
